Sir Adrian Swire must be the originating architect and approver of the "minions" who have adopted such an anti-aircrew stance. There is no getting away from the fact that this Spitfire owning former pro-pilot has now abrogated any responsibility for the way in which his Management treats the very people who have been responsible for the fine reputation of his cash cow - namely Cathay Pacific Airways pilots.
What a pity that he and his accountants have turned what was a magnificent Airline that, in the past, has attracted many ex Fighter pilots, Special Forces flyers, several Red Arrows teams and generally top class recruits, into a LCC within a generation.
Well done to the self interested and now distant Board Members who are more interested in the Rich List than doing the right thing.
Cathay Pacific Airways used to be an aspiration - now it's just long haul Easy Jet.
